Yaremche (Jaremcze or Jaremcza in Polish) is a small town tucked among the Carpathian mountains in the southwest of Ukraine, amongst some very beautiful scenery. In days gone by–before World War II–it was quite a growing tourist attraction. The war put an end to that, but it is still a pretty area. It sits about 2000 feet above sea level, surrounded by the lush and green Carpathian Mountains. You can see my pictures here: http:\/\/poland.leonkonieczny.com\/Poland%202011\/Yaremcze%20and%20the%20Prut%20River\/index.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yaremche <\/a>sits along the Prut river <\/a>(which also runs past Chernivtsi, another town we visited), which was at one time the border between Romania and Russia. When we visited, we saw a very nice rapids with some shops and even a few boys playing on the rocks. It was a refreshing and fun place to visit and quite scenic. You can see the rapids and the boys playing in the water in the pictures. It looked a bit dangerous, actually, but also like a lot of fun.<\/p>\n

Later on we took a drive, basically along the Prut river. We saw some great railroad tunnels and bridges, and went over a very treacherous (it seemed) bridge at a point where they are building a new bridge. It was a very pretty area, as you can see in the pictures. And finally we came across a ski jump. Even in the summer it was a bit of an attractcion.<\/p>\n

Finally, towards the end of the day, we took Filip swimming! He enjoyed playing on the rocks in the shallow water of the Prut river. It does not take a lot to entertain a child and he sure had a good time, as did we, in the beautiful setting. It was a very memorable day, and looking at the pictures brings it all back to my mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
